After filling my gandmothers gas tank on her 2007 town and country we pulled onto the street and the whole car stalled out and I lost control of my steering wheel and breaks. If it hadn't been for quick reaction time on my part. We would have been in a collision. It's never had a problem before. In order to gain control back I had to throw the van in park and then it restarted and drove with no problem home.
2007 Chrysler Town and Country engine complaints

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that the engine stalled after refueling. The vehicle restarted after several attempts. The failure occurred once. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 66,000.
While driving on expressway at 70 MPH, I pulled to the left to avoid a vehicle entering my lane and the car simple stall. No warning, all electrical system warning lights came on and after stopping in the center median, I attempted to restart the vehicle with no results. After having vehicle towed to the nearest facility, I was told that the fuel pump died and had a short. After replacing the fuel pump, the car would run for 9 minutes and would shut down. The mechanic informed me that one of the electrical control modules was faulty causing the alternator to over charge and shut off. I have had issues since we purchased this vehicle in 2007 with the gauges shutting down and the car shutting down. I have asked the dealer on several occasions about this problem and their response has always been that it doesn't happen when they have the vehicle. Now I find out that the chrysler dealer stated to the pepboys mechanic that this is a common problem with the town and country.
Car stalled approaching stop light. Would not restart. Was able to jump start it and took it in to service. Told that the lower end was bad and engine needed to be replaced. Some of these cars had a lifetime powertrain warranty, I missed the window by less than 6 months. Clearly, they knew there was a problem and did not do anything about it.

My 2007 chrysler town and country touring minivan stalls after filling up with gas everytime when get gas. Van starts and you start to drive and then all of a sudden the car stalls in the middle of an intersection and you have to shift van into park quickly and then restart van and then put in gear. Can drive a mile down the road and it happens in the middle of driving at a higher speed. Once you drive it for about 10 minutes continuous it stops stalling until the next time you get gas. Also sometimes when trying to fill up gas tank, if close to empty, the sensor in the gas tank that let's the gas station pump know that the tank is full makes the pump stop after just a gallon pumped in and keep sending that signal that it is full and won't let you fill anymore. Have to wait till the next day before it let's you fill up completely without doing that sensor issue. However it does the stalling after filling up with gas no matter how much gas is put in the gas tank.
While driving on the highway going 70 MPH the engine on my chrysler town and country stalled. I had to coast to a stop and restart the engine. It started up fine but 4-5 min later it stalled out again while turning into the school parking lot. Again it started up fine. At low speeds, I now experience some engine surging issues.
Fill-up gas after 1.5hours of highway travel. Off from the gas station joining a busy street at ~10mph, van stalled. I had wife, my son and two friends - it was a nerve wracking incident. The car behind us had to swerve to next lane to avoid rear-ending us. Stalling continue to happen everytime I fill-up. Thus I would volunteer my vehicle if further testing is needed to investigate the root cause of the issue.
When A/C is on---water leaks thru firewall on front passenger side---I noticed this was a recall on other chrysler town & country model but is not listed for my 2007 model---this has been leaking since 2010--- can I get this covered----I did not realize you had this web-site until now--other-wise I would have reported this sooner---I have to keep a thick towel on the floorboard to catch the water--
After green light, I made the right turn from a small road to main road. When the car was half way into the main road (about 45 degree), the engine just dead, and a lot of symbols lighted up on the panel. I have to completely turn the key to off position, and re-ignite the car. When this incident happened, there is nothing attached to the key. Only car key itself was inside the ignition hole. I contacted chrysler a few month back, reported the same issue happened twice while I called them last time. They told us they were aware this issue and were reviewing it, and suggested us to remove all other keys from key chain. This time I'm just reporting the incident on the government website, so others can see and hopeful chrysler will recall the car for this issue.
After I fill up my van then starting after about 30 seconds to a minute the engine would run rough and if you did not give it the gas it would stop. I mentioned this to my dealer but they did not know or hear of this problem. In the november 2014 issue of consumer reports I noticed in the "road report" section about fuel tank problems with 2007-2008 chrysler vehicles. I checked the web and in the "allpar.com news" that covers all chrysler vehicles it had a article about 2006-2007 vehicles "stalling on a full fuel tank". I have had this problem since I purchased the vehicle in march of 2011 with approximately 32000 miles. My dealer said since there was no recall on this that they could not do anything about this unless I paid to have it fixed. In the allpar article it stated that it is the problem with the "stant-built floats in the fuel tank". I am use to this happening so I am ready for it. I keep my foot on the gas in neutral if I am stopped to ensure the engine does not die. If I am driving just need to be aware and keep on the gas and it passes in about 10 seconds. Please help. Thanks
This van has been burning a quart of oil every 800 to 1000 miles since we first purchased it. The van now has 91,233 miles on it and the oil consumption is getting worse. The oil is burning through the engine and there are no leaks whatsoever. I have seen many many posts on a lot of sites where other people are having the same problem and chrysler does not want to do the right thing and fix the problem. The dealerships are saying what chrysler is telling them to say which it is normal for an engine to burn a quart of oil every 1,000 miles which is just ridiculous. I have had plenty of vehicles in my life time and even the worst beater with 250,000 miles on it never burned that much oil. This is a wide spread problem that chrysler needs to man up and accept responsibility and repair their customers vehicles properly. Due to this problem I will never purchase a chrysler vehicle again. I have always bought gm's and never had a problem like this.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chrysler town and country. While driving approximately 5 MPH, the engine stalled without warning. The intermittent failure occurred immediately after refueling the tank. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who was unable to locate the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000. Updated 11/21/14*cn the consumer stated the failure occurred on multiple occasions. Updated 5/5/2015
Engine shut off going around a corner in our neighborhood. Had to restart van.
We have had repeated issues with the engine suddenly shutting down. It happens in the middle of driving and is extremely dangerous. There have been times we are going around a curve or pulling out in traffic and the engine will just shut off. The van has to be put in neutral and the key has to be turned on. We have eliminated all keys from our fob. The van has been inspected by numerous mechanics and no one has been able to determine what the issue is. We are extremely concerned that our family is going to be killed in a crash because of this issue. The engine shutting off continues to get worse. Chrysler has told us there are no recalls. Why does it take numerous deaths in order for there to be a recall? We bought this van because we thought it was safe and now we fear it is going to seriously injure or kill our family. Please look into this.
I was driving and my car just shut off. I had to pull off road no power steering . I didn't touch ignition or anything it just shut off. I pulled over put in park and it did restart has not happened today very scary.
Pretty much ever since I've had the car, I will occasionally be driving and bump the key with my knee, turning the van off altogether. The power steering stops working with the engine off, so I have to try to turn on my hazard lights and carefully navigate to the side of the road to put the van in "park" again so that I can restart it (I can't restart it while I'm still moving). I am very, very careful to try to never even touch the key with my knee so that this doesn't happen, but it still does occasionally.
For a little while now when we have the A/C running it leaks from the firewall onto the passenger side of the van floor. If the A/C is ran long enough with out drying out the floor on the drivers side gets wet also. I know there is a recall on the 2008 town and country's for the reason. Our van was built in january 2007 and the recall on the 2008's start on june 27, 2007 and go to july 30, 2008 manufactured vans. I do believe my van should be included in on this recall because we have had the A/C drain cleaned and that is not what the problem is. The leak is from the firewall where the A/C connects to the inside of the van under the carpet. We have seen it leak and I would love for it to be fixed since there is a problem with it. Please let me know what I can do. I don't want the carpet to rot out and I don't want anything to be messed up either. Thank you. Also we have had problems with the VIN since we got the van.... We have always been told it is an invalid VIN it wouldn't even work on this site but that is what is on the van in the VIN location. I don't know what the insurance company or the revenue office did to get it to work.
After filling up the fuel tank and driving maybe one block the engine stalled. This happens now after every fillup. It is exactly the same symptoms as in the federal safety agency action number : pe13016 for other chrysler products of the previous year. A search in google came up with many, many people with many different cars experiencing the same thing. If you pull out of the gas station directly onto a highway and stall while trying to merge into high speed traffic, the results could be disastrous (b'ah).
My wife's 2007 chrysler town and country van stalls after every fill up. This has happened in heavy traffic and could result in an accident. I thought this might be isolated, but after an internet search, it seems this is a significant widespread issue. My opinion is this is a safety issue and should not happen after only 55,000 miles. Thanks.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled numerous times while driving at various speeds. The instrument panel lights and the interior lights would flash one and off when the failure occurred. The vehicle was taken to the dealer numerous times for the failure. The dealer replaced the battery, the multifunction switch and the body control module however, the failure was not corrected as the vehicle continued to stall intermittently. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 36,000 and the current mileage was 50,000.
The vehicle stalls intermittently at any speed in drive or reverse. This issue has happened at least one time per week for several months.
After filling the minivan with gas (especially if full), once driving off gas station lot--car stalls. Everything shuts off. Usually shakes right before shutting off. Must have something to do with brakes too. The more you brake right after turning car back on after fill up, the more likely it will stall. Very dangerous if making a turn, on highway or if cars are behind it. Also died once when turning into parking spot. I came very close to hitting car because power steering and brakes were gone too. This has been happening for months and is a huge problem. Our chrystler/dodge could not diagnose problem but there are many others online. This is a 2007 most of the same problems are with 2005.
After fill in gas in gas station, drove about 3/4 miles, trying to make a right turn at an intersection, suddenly the car lost power. Engine stopped, no power steering, no brake. Finally the car stopped at the opposite side of the street. After several minutes, turn the engine back on, then everything back to normal.
2007 t& c. Check oil after 30,000 and discovered 1 1/2 qt low. Dealer advised it is normal to use 1 qt per 1,000 miles. (I never had a car do that let alone one with only 30,000 miles). I now have 42,000 miles and still consumes about 1 qt + per 1,000 miles. I have registered a complaint each time I take it in for service.

Driving vehicle about 55 MPH, after hearing a loud bag tried to steer car onto berm. The power steering did not work. Finally, and with a struggle, vehicle was pulled off the road. Had vehicle towed to mechanic. Mechanic stated that alternator had completely come loose from its mooring. After inspection, he saw that one bolt was missing and the other bolt had fallen out. Alternator coming unmounted caused damage to the timing cover and serpentine drive belt . Timing cover is not available currently from chrysler. Is this a reason for that, perhaps?
